Complaint Review: Film Monkey Studios

Film Monkey hired me for two weddings in February - one in Los Angeles, another in San Diego (they offered to cover gas by saving receipts). I signed their agreements, shot the weddings and did a good job for them. When it came time to deliver footage I requested to be sent a hard drive because I had over 150+ gb of footage and that would take days to send via drop box. It took them three weeks to send a drive. I uploaded the footage onto it upon receipt and sent back that day.

I only got partial payment on April 8th. That was after being promised to be paid weeks before, then they kept pushing. Finally I got a payment, however they did not pay me the amount we both signed and agreed upon. They still owe me $327.90. For two weeks, I've tried calling, e-mailing and nothing, no explanation or promise of full payment.

Videographers: do not, I mean, do not work for these people. They are terribly organized and will throw you under the bus. They are scammers not only to us, those who are outsourced and the only reason why their business can exist, but to those that hire them. Just read the yelp reviews!

Do not get scammed by Film Monkey. I know you want work for shooting video but this will only guarantee dissapointment and frustration.

Thank you,

Ryan
